His rival Donald Trump will travel to Miami for a fundraising event closed to the press.
Money remains the fuel of a campaign in which candidates are expected to spend a total of $1 billion.
Since the Republican-reshaped U.S. Supreme Court ended federal abortion protection in June 2022, Democrats believe this issue could win them votes.
And Harris is much more comfortable defending abortion rights than she is on other issues, like inflation.
Last Thursday night, the vice president insisted on this right in an event broadcast live. with American television star Oprah Winfrey.
Several artists supported her during the rally-program, such as singer Jennifer Lopez and actresses Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.
It is useless to speculate about the outcome of the elections that will be contested by the Republican, 78 years old, and the Democrat, 59, because they are neck and neck in several of the seven key states that will likely decide the outcome.
To vote!
Among these seven hotly contested electoral battlegrounds is Georgia, where Joe Biden won in 2020 by less than 12,000 votes over the Republican billionaire.
Trump is being prosecuted in this state for allegedly exerted pressure to alter the outcome of those elections.
In Atlanta, the state’s capital and largest city, Harris will speak about the case of Amber Thurman, a woman whose death was a direct result of the consequences of a draconian anti-abortion law, according to an investigation published this week by the news site ProPublica.
As a sign that the election date is approaching, Polling stations opened in Virginia, Minnesota and South Dakota on Friday, three states that offer the possibility of voting in person in advance.
The aim is to improve voter turnout by allowing people who are unable to do so due to personal circumstances to vote and by reducing crowds on election day.
Other states will follow suit in the coming days and weeks.
The American presidential elections are decided by indirect suffrage with different variants, including voting by mail, which was denigrated by Trump, who accused him of having encouraged alleged fraud in 2020. He never provided any evidence.
“It’s good to have early voting, to give people lots of opportunities to vote. I’m a big supporter of it, so that as many people as possible can vote,” Madison Granger, a candidate in a local district in Arlington, a city in Virginia bordering Washington, told AFP.
At another polling station, Michelle Kilkenny, 55, is delighted. “I vote to encourage people to vote. Voting early, especially on the first day, helps the campaign and increases enthusiasm,” he says.
